A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Besides Nian Duan, Duanmu Rong also gained a basic understanding of this acupuncture technique after two days of hard study.

However, she is still young and inexperienced, and her martial arts skills are not very good, so she is not able to unleash the power of this acupuncture technique.

This requires her to continue to learn and understand as she studies medicine in the future.

Having learned the acupuncture technique, Nian Duan returned the manual to Bai Yuan the following evening as promised, and once again expressed her gratitude.

After accepting the manual, they chatted for a while, and the topic inevitably turned to parting.

After spending two days there, both sides prepared to continue their journey.

Meetings are always fleeting, and partings are always too quick, but this is something we can't help but accept.

However, Duanmu Rong was not as sad as she was when they parted last time. In the past two days, Bai Yuan has often come to inquire about her studies and patiently guides her together with Nian Duan.

She wasn't greedy; a couple of days would be enough for her.

The next morning, Bai Yuan and his two companions packed their things, bid farewell to them early, and continued their journey toward Mount Taiyi.

Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong left with the Mo family.

To thank them, the Six-Fingered Black Knight offered to use the Vermilion Bird Mechanism to send them to Mirror Lake, and Nian Duan did not refuse their kindness.

Resuming their journey, sitting in the carriage, Bai Yuan gazed at the black dots in the distant sky, sighed softly, and then looked away.

At that moment, he noticed that Ningyan and the other person were looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"What are you doing?"

We have a question that we hope you can answer truthfully!

"Hey! Just ask me whatever you want! I'll answer everything I know!"

Bai Yuan waved his hand. Their relationship was already so close, what couldn't they talk about besides the system?

Ningyan narrowed her eyes: "Have you been involved with any other women outside?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan was both amused and exasperated.

"I swear, I have absolutely not been involved with any other women!"

However, he added in his mind: "Sexy girls shouldn't count, right?"

Since Bai Yuan had said so, Ningyan and the other two had no doubts.

Far away on Mount Taiyi, Tao Yao sat on a tree and suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, is someone talking bad about me? It must be that jerk Bai Yuan again!"

"Speaking of which, I heard from those Taoist disciples that he seems to be coming back soon. I wonder how he's doing out there."

Chapter 104 Even Bei Mingzi would have to treat me with utmost respect.

On their way back to Mount Taiyi, Bai Yuan and his companions took their time, enjoying the scenery and sights along the way – a truly leisurely and pleasant experience.

Therefore, it took them a full month and a half to travel this route and finally arrive at the majestic Taiyi Mountain and the magnificent Taiyi Palace!

Standing before the gates of Taiyi Palace, Bai Yuan also revealed a hint of nostalgia.

The Taoist disciples on patrol today greeted Bai Yuan and his two companions with clasped hands in a salute upon their return.

"Uncle-Master! You're finally back! The Sect Leader instructed that if you returned, you should go find him as soon as possible."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly after hearing this, and led Ningyan and the other person towards his residence.

After they left, the Taoist disciples couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"The sect leader said half a month ago that our martial uncle would be back, but who would have thought that he would be a full half month late!"

"Yes! But wasn't Uncle-Master supposed to go to Little Sage Manor to study? How come he brought back two more..."

"Cough cough!"

As the two were chatting, they suddenly heard a cough behind them and immediately stopped.

Turning around, they saw Xiaoling walking over with two Taoist disciples.

"Senior Brother Xiao Ling!"

"Don't gossip about our Uncle-Master behind his back. If Master finds out, you'll definitely be punished!"

Xiao Ling gave them a warning.

These people are unaware that the Qi-Nourishing Pills they receive every month are all Bai Yuan's creations, but he is well aware of them.

Even setting aside the fact that Bai Yuan is of a higher generation than them, it is absolutely unacceptable for them to enjoy the benefits he brings while speaking ill of him behind his back!

Upon hearing Xiaoling's words, the two gatekeepers could only smile and apologize, saying that they had just been talking nonsense and had absolutely no other meaning.

Xiao Ling didn't pursue the matter further.

On the other side, Bai Yuan led Ningyan and the other person to his residence.

It was just an ordinary wooden house, but Chisongzi probably knew about Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue in advance, so he specially expanded it and added a few more rooms for them to use.

Bai Yuan was slightly surprised and almost thought he had gone to the wrong place, but he quickly realized what was going on. He then let Ningyan and the other girl choose a room to stay in. The two of them unanimously chose the rooms on the left and right sides of Bai Yuan's room.

This made Bai Yuan chuckle.

He had just put down his luggage when he heard Xiaoling's voice from outside.

"Uncle-Master! The Sect Leader requests your presence!"

Bai Yuan sighed slightly. How anxious his senior brother was! It wasn't enough that he had someone tell him once at the entrance of Taiyi Palace; now he had sent Xiao Ling as well.

Bai Yuan walked out of the room and found Ningyan and the others waiting outside.

"Wait here for me, I'll be right back!"

Bai Yuan gave the two a few words of advice, and then had Xiao Ling lead the way to see Chi Songzi.

After he left, Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue went back to their rooms to tidy up.

At that moment, the peach blossom sword that Bai Yuan had placed in the room suddenly moved.

bump!

His door opened by itself without any wind, and the Peach Blossom Sword flew out with a whoosh, startling Xue'er, who was resting in the courtyard.

Hearing the commotion, Ningyan and the other woman put down what they were doing and came out, only to see the Peach Blossom Sword floating in the air.

In the courtyard, it was unclear what was going on.

At this moment, the Peach Blossom Sword seemed to be controlled by someone, its tip pointing at Ningyan and the other person.

"How is this going?"

Ningyan's face showed a solemn expression; she had no idea who was controlling the Peach Blossom Sword.

She knew very well that not just anyone could wield the Peach Blossom Sword, but besides Bai Yuan, who else could unleash its power?

Only Xue'er saw Tao Yao's presence, but was suppressed by the spiritual power emanating from her and was too frightened to move.

"Sister Ningyan!"

Ji Mo Huaxue watched this scene with some worry, unsure of what to do.

Ningyan protected her, gently shaking her head to reassure her.

After all, they were at Mount Taiyi, the headquarters of the Heavenly Sect!

There shouldn't be anyone who dares to lay a hand on them.

Moreover, this situation seems to be deliberately trying to get their attention, but it's unclear what the other party is trying to do.

Ningyan remained calm and said to the Peach Blossom Sword:

"Since you deliberately made a commotion to lure us out, why not show yourself? Or are you too afraid to come out?"

As soon as Ningyan finished speaking, a delicate shout came from the Peach Blossom Sword.

"Who are you saying wouldn't dare!"

Ningyan couldn't help but frown.

"It was actually a woman! Bai Yuan still dares to say he hasn't been involved with other women, what a big liar!"

At this moment, a pink sword aura suddenly emerged from the Peach Blossom Sword and then quickly spread out, just like the Taoist world losing its color, instantly enveloping Ningyan and the other person within it.

In the blink of an eye, the scene before them transformed into a peach orchard, filled with delicate pink peach blossoms. A gentle breeze caused the petals to flutter down, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

However, Ningyan and the others quickly came to their senses from this scene.

Upon closer inspection, the two discovered a woman in a pink dress in the peach blossom grove, with the Peach Blossom Sword hovering around her as if it had seen its master.

The two of them, one person and one sword, seemed perfectly matched in Ningyan's eyes, as if she were the true owner of the Peach Blossom Sword.

At this moment, Tao Yao carefully examined Ning Yan and Ji Mo Hua Xue, and she was extremely displeased.

Through the Peach Blossom Sword, she instantly knew what Bai Yuan had been through during this time, even though she had been worried about whether he was doing well outside.

He's not just living a good life, he's living a wonderful one! He's living the high life!

She only wanted to test their reactions, but she was mocked for being too ashamed to be seen by others. How could she tolerate that?

Tao Yao decided to teach these two newcomers what the concept of first come, first served means.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to use the Peach Blossom Illusion to appear in public for the first time.

The two sized each other up for a while.

Ningyan asked first, "Who are you?"

Although she already had a suspicion, she remained calm, just in case things weren't as they thought.

Tao Yao snorted: "Who am I? You guys are so close to that jerk Bai Yuan, why don't you go ask him yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Ningyan confirmed her guess and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

“Of course we will ask, but you only dare to come to us when Bai Yuan isn’t around. Are you afraid he’ll blame you if he finds out?”

Ningyan stared at Taoyao, her tone no longer polite.

Tao Yao held her sword, revealing a disdainful smile, as if she had heard something amusing.

"What a joke! You think I'd be afraid of his wrath? In this Taoist community, even Bei Mingzi would treat me with utmost respect!"
